street, DR.. Robert Reyburn in the chair, and Mr..
Benz. S. Pike secretary. Reports Of standing COM
mittees was the principal business The most
noticeable was that Of the committee on schools
MIR. John II. voorhees, chairman. This report gave
statistics showing that the schools in that district
had been filled TO overlooking during the last year.
and That the need OF room was apparent. 1t also
touched upon the relation OF the High School to
The common schools and criticised the system of
promotion 10 the former, and gave some recon-
mendationS looking toward higher standard
In the pupils before their advancement.
The report yentured the opinion that the present
method OF leaving the matter TO the discretion OF
the principals OF the eighth grade not only threw
TOO much upon the personal views OF the teachers,
put put into their hands power which might not
De properly exercised. More than this, the stand
ar0 allowed was tending TO I'LL the High School TO
0Ver1owing, and pupils who were untitled were
being pushed forward too far. The idea was adj
Vanced That perhaps an Intermediate school,
just below the High School, might be adj
NSaDle 10 wtnnow out the graduates from the
elSnth grade before entrance into the High school
This report and motion OF Mr. Brooks that the
Hlgh ana common schools were referred to the rep
reSentative committee OF one hundred. A resoltl-
lion was adopted that Association No. endorsed
the recommendation of Trustee Ros. A. Fish, that
children below grade No. q be not required to take

OBJECTION is raised in San Francisco to
the new charter soon to be voted upon,
that it concentrates in the hands of one
man, the Mayor, much power. But that
is good reason for its adoption. Give
him the power to do, to appoint, to exc
cute, and hold him responsible Under
such a system the people will know where
to look, and will select Mayors accord
ingly. If it is desired to give strength
and certainty to city government, to
eliminate bosses, to strike down corruption,
to prevent trading in official places, put
all the power possible into the hands of
the municipal executive, and trust to the
people to elect man in whom confidence
can be repoSed. If there is to be rascality
in city government, better have it in one
man, than half dozen; in one depart
ment, rather than in many. Where there
is great power in the exercise of an office
parties put forward men for it they know
the people will trust with it, conscious of
the fact that no other will be accepted.
To divided responsibility is due seven
tenths of all the municipal mismanage-
ment Of the age.

CIVIL SERVICE REFORM.

The National Civil Service Reform
League, which is recognized as the fore
most representative of the civil service re-
form sentiment, has been engaged for a
year IN examining into the progress Of the
work. The report of results has just been
made, and is full of interest. The conclu-
sion is reached that the Administration,
under enormous disadvantages and per-
plexities, has accomplished much for the
reform Of the civil service. \ The
fragmentary results of reform which had
been secured by previous Administrations
have been fully maintained, while the ag-
gregate of such results has been remark
ably enlarged" With this verdict Presi-
dent Cleveland certainly has every reason
to be satisfied, and it will probably stimu-
late his Administration to further efforts
to advance the reform. Whatever it ac-
complishes in negativing the vicious infu-
ence of the spoils system is for the good of
the whole country. There is no politics
in this reform. 1t stands for economy pure
and simple, for faithful service in public
station, for skill in governmental work,
and for the application of business methods
to the conduct of public business. 1t
places duty before partisan fealtY, and re-
leases the subordinate government servant
from the domination of the bosses, heelers
and strikers. 1t says to those who draw
salaries from the Government that their
allegiance is first due to their paymaster,
and that no dictation whatever shall cow
them, and no party demands make them
subservient to party managers.

ALFRED TENNYsoN, like any other NOR
tai, proves poor hand at grinding out
perfunctory panegyrics. The poetic muse
will endure neither whip nor spur; it
comes not at command and sings not by
royal decree. The distinction between
the poet laureate and the royal tailor is
not so great, but with all the things in IA
vor of the man of the goose" He at
least can make " fl" by command, but
the poet royal is less happily circum-
stanced. Take Tennyson's poor jaded
muse as it comes to the jubilee score I'M
der lash and with rowelled sides all bleed
ing, and note what sorry-looking thing
it is:
"She beloved for kindliness
Rare in fable or history. Queen and Empress OF
India
Crowned so long with diadem
Never worn by aworthier,
Now with prosperous auguries
Comes at last to the bounteous browning yeaI
of her jubilee"
And again, as it, painting, enters upon
second neat IN race without com
petitor:
You. the mighty, the fortunate,
You the Lord Territorial,
YOU the Lord manufacturer,
You, the hardy, laborious, patient child of AL
bion:
YOU Canadian, Indian, Australian, African,
All your hearts beat in harmony all your voice!
in unison,
Singing hail to the glorious
Golden year of her jubilee"
If Tennyson could but wait for the di
vine affiatus-but then the jubilee date
is fixed, the audience is in place, the or
chestra has played the overture, and the
poet laureate must perforce come before
the curtain and pronounce the prologue
the "house" will not wait.
